Commodity Exposures
Price Sensitivity
P&G's commodity exposure spans petroleum-derived chemicals (surfactants, plastics for packaging), natural gas (energy and chemical feedstock), palm and coconut oil (soap and detergent ingredients), cotton and cellulose (paper products), and packaging materials (aluminum, cardboard). Commodity costs represent approximately 50% of cost of goods sold. P&G's brand strength allows significant pricing power to pass through commodity inflation, but with a typical 6-12 month lag.
